Sasuke tossed and turned under his covers before waking up and grasping his head in pain, Sasuke had woken up with a major headache, the previous day was quite a blur inside his head right now… he couldn't remember what he had done… let alone know his last name. Sasuke groaned and rubbed his temples as the memories of the previous night came flooding back.
--Flash Back --
Sasuke had gone to find one of the many books on diseases and medical issues; he entered a large room and flipped on the light switch. He had left Naruto unattended in the room while he had gone… he could barely speak, so what's the worst that could happen…? Sasuke gulped audibly as the thought of all the problems that could happen if he left Naruto alone.
Pushing all those thoughts aside, Sasuke began to read of the pages in the book he had fished out; he looked over the "Head" Part of the book to find the disease for Naru-chan has… He was far to busy reading silently to himself to hear the footsteps creeping up on him.
"Kyuu!!" Naruto laughed as he pounced on Sasuke's back
"A-Ah!" was the only thing Sasuke could choke out before he and the diclonius tumbled down the stairs
Sasuke's head whacked on the cold, tiled floor that was below the stairs. He groaned in pain as he clutched his head and rubbed the back of it in a soothing, circular motion.
"Grr…" Sasuke sat up and glared at the unconscious figure, his head had hit the floor while his body was still on the stairs, Sasuke called him the first name that seemed to pop into his head "Dobe…"
Sasuke picked him up and placed him on the sofa, a look of pure pain from the fall was his only visible expression, but Sasuke could tell that something much more was behind his mask.
Sasuke grabbed a blanket and wrapped the cold diclonius in it; he placed a pillow under Naruto's head, Sasuke clutched his head in pain as he left the blonde to sleep, it took a lot of aspirin to make the pain subside for the moment.
He decided the best thing to do would be to sleep; Sasuke ran up the stairs and quickly climbed into his bed and under the covers…
The rest of the night was a blur… (Because if it wasn't he would be insomniac (insert dramatic music here))
--End Flashback--
Sasuke held his head tightly as he sluggishly pulled himself from his bed, he entered his bathroom so he could brush his hair, wash his face and at least look slightly decent in the presence of the blonde diclonius. Sasuke sighed and walked down stairs to find the diclonius was already wide awake and staring into deep space, the blonde looked like he had been awake all night.
"Were you up all night, Dobe?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow; the diclonius broke away from his thoughts and stared at the dark-haired boy with cold heartless eyes
He must've found me… Naruto's eyes narrowed before he spoke "Good morning to you to… and yes… I was…"
Sasuke was slightly taken back by his tone of voice and the dark look in his eyes "What's wrong?" Sasuke asked coolly
Naruto raised an elegant, blonde eyebrow "What do you mean?"
"Your a lot different from yesterday…" Sasuke sighed; he had to admit… the other personality was a lot better than this
"Why would you care?" Naruto snorted
"Naruto…" Sasuke growled in a warning tone
"Fine, fine…" Naruto held his hands up in defense
Sasuke sighed and beckoned for Naruto to follow him into the kitchen, Naruto silently followed knowing that food awaited his growling stomach.
Sasuke prepared a breakfast of cereal, toast and onigiri (Sorry if I got that wrong…); the diclonius almost drooled over the sweet smell of the cooking toast and onigiri. While the food was being cooked and prepared, Sasuke took the time to get a better look at this… boy…? Sasuke noticed he had a small build; his ribs were clearly visible… obviously from lack of food, in his previous attitude his eyes showed happiness and joy but now they were dark and distant… something beckoned Sasuke to ask questions and force the answers out of him… but a little voice inside his head said "Stop day-dreaming you idiot or you'll burn the toast!!" Sasuke snapped out of his daydream to the smell of slightly burning crumbs. Sasuke pulled the dark toast out of the toaster and threw a glare at the confused blonde. (Did you think his inner-voice would be saying something… more intelligent?)
"You could have told me it was burning!" Sasuke growled
"It was? My fault…" Naruto said sarcastically, Sasuke snorted and threw a piece of toast and bowl of cereal at him

Iruka paced around a small office impatiently while Kakashi was leaning up against the wall casually, A girl with long platinum blonde hair the was tied into a messy ponytail was busy grabbing faxes and other paper that was sent through the large fax machine.
"Anything yet?" Iruka asked impatiently
"As of five seconds? NO!" Ino yelled at the annoying brunette
"S-sorry…" Iruka sighed into his hand that was covering most of his face in annoyance
Another five minutes went past… that five minutes soon turned into 10… then 30… and soon the day was almost over, Kakashi was soon beginning to give up hope for finding the whereabouts of the diclonius.
"I got it!!" Ino yelled throughout the halls, Iruka and Kakashi came running up to Ino with hope gleaming in their eyes
"What? I just won the junior jumble in the newspaper…" Ino said, slightly confused "Oh… right these!"
Ino grabbed a bundle of papers and rudely pushed them into Iruka's hands "I found them five minutes ago… big whoop…"
Iruka and Kakashi sighed and sweat dropped at Ino's head density, Iruka quickly scanned through the pages and looked towards Kakashi with a stern look, Kakashi narrowed his eyes towards the paper and scanned over it himself.
"This will be dangerous sir…" Iruka warned
"I know…" Kakashi sighed, "Maybe we should--"
"No!!" Iruka protested before he could finish "what if 'it' wont listen?!"
"We'll have to deal with that when it happens…" Kakashi said in a serious tone
"If you say so…" Iruka sounded nervous and unsure
Kakashi led Iruka out of the room and into another office beside it, He quickly put in a combination for a safe, he rummaged through the many things inside it before fishing out a key. It was a large silver key that had kanji engraved on it that spelt out "self-loving carnage", Iruka gulped audibly as Kakashi handed him the key. Kakashi led him to two large metal doors; he placed his hand on a sensor so the door would open, Iruka placed the key in Kakashi's awaiting hand. Kakashi unlocked another door as he and Iruka entered the room; it was a lot like the one the Naruto was being held captive in… Iruka stopped on Kakashi's signal while he continued to walk through the door, Kakashi stopped at a figure in that was huddled in the corner and in a straight jacket… two horns that were identical to Naruto's were on his head also.
"Get up…" Kakashi ordered, the figure slowly rose to its feet his eyes still closed
"We need your help to capture Naruto…" Kakashi said, the diclonius opened his eyes to reveal glowing red iris's…
"Naruto…?" he repeated and blinked his narrowed red orbs "he escaped…?"
"Yes… we need your help to get him back…" Kakashi sighed as he saw the figure smirk through his over grown red bangs
"I'll help…" he spoke softly… like he had any communication for a long time
"I trust you…" He unlocked the large straight jacket that fell to the ground, to reveal a pale, slender figure
"…Gaara…"
xXx
Sasuke could only stare in awe as he watched the diclonius chug down his food like there was no tomorrow…
"Uhh… you act as if you haven't eaten in months…" Sasuke sighed, nibbling on an onigiri
"Well… not this much!" Naruto sighed and swallowed another onigiri whole
"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked, putting down his onigiri and taking a spoonful of cereal
"Well…" Naruto swallowed his large mouthful of food and continued, "…Where I used to live I--"
A quick flash back of Naruto's past stopped him in the middle of his sentence; Sasuke raised an eyebrow and spoke up
"What?"
"Uhh… Umm… I didn't get much food…" Naruto quickly covered up
"Oh…" Sasuke sighed and finished his breakfast "Are you done?"
Naruto nodded and Sasuke placed away the dishes into the sink, Naruto looked over at Sasuke who was cleaning, drying and putting the dishes away, Naruto decided to lend a hand "Need any help?" (Of course he has no idea what Sasuke's doing…)
"Sure" Sasuke through him a tea towel which he caught on reflex "You dry, I wash, we put away"
Naruto nodded and followed his instructions by drying off the dishes and placing them to one side so they could put them away together. After they had finished Naruto asked an unexpected question at him "Do you have a family?"
"W-what?" Sasuke stuttered almost dropped the pen he was fiddling with
"Do you?" Naruto repeated
Sasuke sighed and shook his head "No… they were…" Sasuke turned away "They were killed…"
Naruto showed no emotions towards the information "By whom?"
"Uhh… My brother…" Sasuke wasn't sure whether he should be telling this stranger this but he felt like he could truly tell him about without feeling any guilt
Naruto stayed silent, he knew if he said he was sorry… it wouldn't be true because he wasn't sorry… he didn't cause his family's death, but he had caused so many other deaths… the news wasn't as shocking as it would seem. Naruto wanted to comfort Sasuke but wasn't sure how… he closed his eyes and let his body move on its own… fortunately it did… Naruto some how had made his way over to Sasuke and was now snaking his thin arms around Sasuke's slender body and pulling him into a small hug.
"What The--?" Sasuke would have pushed him over by now and chucked him out of his house, but the hug didn't seem out of pity… or forced… it seemed that he was trying to find away to tell him he was sorry about his brother and family… (BINGO!)
"Thanks" Sasuke placed a hand on Naruto's head before Naruto pulled back
"No prob--" Naruto's eyes widened as he felt something surge through his body "No… they couldn't have…"
Naruto clutched on to himself, Sasuke blinked before he questioned the blonde "What's wrong? Who?"
"I-I have to go…" Naruto stammered before reaching for the door, but was held back by Sasuke
"Not until you tell me what's going on…" Sasuke growled, Naruto sighed
"Im sorry…" he muttered under his breath
"What--?" Sasuke gasped as a punch landed itself into his gut, Sasuke fell to the floor before passing out
"Like I said… 'Im sorry…'" and with that sentence lingering in the air… he left… to god knows where…
Ok… if you don't know what's happening to Naruto… he sensed the other diclonius coming for him is all… oh and I wanna know, should I put KakaIru in here?? Im not to good on the coupling but I can squeeze it in here if you like… :3 (hugs Gaara-kun) waaa!! i can totally imagine him as a diclonius!!
Love,
